you can also add: set background=dark (or light) to your .vimrc rather than resetting a whole bunch of colors this setting will make everything readable on a dark background and if you use gvim you can put background=light into your .gvimrc and have it very readable on a light background.

Has anyone else noticed that by default VIM under SuSE does not display colors?
Is there an easy way to enable this?
Any help is much appreciated.

In the spirit of leaving no help unstated, here's what you add to .vimrc if you're not thrilled about any of the colors... Which are listed in
/etc/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt:
highlight Comment ctermfg=cyan guifg=cyan highlight Constant ctermfg=DarkRed guifg=Magenta highlight Special ctermfg=DarkMagenta guifg=SlateBlue highlight Identifier ctermfg=DarkCyan guifg=DarkCyan highlight Statement ctermfg=Brown gui=bold guifg=Brown highlight PreProc ctermfg=DarkMagenta guifg=Purple highlight Type ctermfg=DarkGreen guifg=SeaGreen gui=bold highlight Ignore guifg=bg
I changed the comment color in this list to be a lighter shade of blue. The default one just about disappears into a dark background.
Enjoy...
